Anyone know a Nimrod?

Cush was also the ancestor of Nimrod, who was the first heroic warrior on earth.- 1 Chronicles 1:10 (NLT)

nim' rod (n)- A person regarded as silly or foolish. (American Heritage Dictionary)

What is a Nimrod? If someone calls you one, should you be offended? Anyone know how the name of the "first heroic warrior on earth" came to mean silly or foolish?

Reading 1 Chronicles, I just thought this was funny.... Maybe you don't.
